medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Christopher listed many amusing "Gadgets for God" at Ship of Fools,
including:

My favorite is the "Armor of God PJs," whose (sarcastic) copy begins
with:
"Isn't it about time for Christian kids to lead the fight against
secular pajamas?
Yes it is! And what better way to do it than by getting them
into costumes
straight out of the good old days of the Crusades. These
amazingly realistic
PJs are silver coloured so they actually look like medieval
armor ....."

For any souls who are entertained by the "Twelve Days of Kitschmas" I
recommend the following, hosted at "Going Jesus":
